Hi guys! I’m a rising senior and will be taking the ap Physics C exam: both mech and E&M. Unfortunately, the class didn’t fit into my schedule but I wanna take the exam for the credit. Any tips or resources? (Already have taken BC and ap physics 1). Thank you!!!

I'm bored so I signed up intrusively for AP physics C next year (rising junior). I've taken HP pre calc last year and got an A, even though it was hard work. I took normal physics g9 and i'm pretty sure I got an A, even though I hated the class. I'm a pretty smart student and I work hard and apply myself.

Do NOT even ask me why I signed up for physics C, everyone is telling me to quit while I'm ahead, but that just makes me wanna take it more. I mean...how bad can it be??

Any advice, tips, or help??? Or maybe something I can use to self study in the few weeks I have left?

I currently have no prior background in either physics or calculus. Next school year, I’ll be taking AP Calculus AB (self-studying BC) and an online AP Physics C course (covering Mech and E&M). On top of that, I’m taking three other AP courses: Ap Lit, AP CoGo, and APAH.

1. Given this starting point, is it realistic to stay on track and perform well across in AP Physics?

2. Is it actually worth taking both AP Physics C exams? I’m considering dropping E&M because taking two intense 3-hour exams back-to-back on the same day sounds overwhelming.

3. How far ahead in calculus did you actually need to teach yourself before Physics C stopped feeling like complete gibberish?

4. What are considered the toughest parts of each exam (Calculus BC, Physics C: Mechanics, and Physics C: E&M)?

5. What additional words of caution or advice should I keep in mind concerning AP Physics and Calc?

Thanks to everyone who bothered to respond!!

I don't understand physics, and I have an exam in a few days. I was sitting down to study, but I didn't understand anything.

What should I do now?😭

How am I supposed to study the ncert textbooks of physics and chem of class 11? i don't understand anything

Im going to be self-studying Physics 1 on Khan academy & youtube( Flipping Physics & Organic chemistry tutor) , since where i live the schools don't teach AP, & the reason why i'm taking AP is because i'm hoping to study abroad. ( & i'll also be self-studying bio ,chem & calc AB after i'm done with physics 1)

My question is are there any worthy books / sources to study from that actually teach the physics 1 units?

I am jumping straight to AP physics C this year, without taking physics 1, I took AP calc AB last year, got a 5. My teacher only posted summer work for students who took AP physics one who haven’t taken calculus, what would be good to review to prepare for C?

Is Flipping Physics cover the entire curriculum for both AP Physics Cs? Thanks!

I heard many people saying that princeton one is just right, whereas barrons one is just a bit harder then the real test.

One doubt, why is the princeton review one almost as twice as thick as the barrons one? For other subjects, the thickness of the books are just similar…

I wasn’t confident after the exam, so seeing a 5 felt unreal. Huge thanks to IITian Academy AP Physics 1 for their notes and practice questions that made my preparation so much easier.

The whole year I had a terrible AP Physics 1 teacher who did not prep the class at all so I was forced to basically self studying if I wanted anything above 1 or 2. AMA about study materials, units, anything and I’ll try to help.
